Four Pillars

 

At New Presbyterian Church, it is our intent to practically and joyfully live out our calling to "glorify God and enjoy Him forever." We define our distinctives with Four Pillars: Reverent Worship, Evangelism, Christian World & Life View, and Reformed Theology. 


With these four pillars – rooted in God’s Word and Christ’s love – we will use our gifts and talents in a balanced way to serve one another and the greater community. Included in this brochure you will find further explanations of our ministry priorities and contacts that will help you connect with broader community of New Presbyterian Church.

 


Reverent Worship

Pillar copy

The Bible tells us that God desires to be worshipped and that our greatest fulfillment and joy comes from glorifying Him. We are committed to a biblical, reverent, and Reformed approach to worship and music. Therefore, we believe that our music should be: Trinitarian, Christ-Centered, and Biblical. Our music should be prepared with excellence and offered with great joy. Sunday Worship should transcend the mundane of our daily lives and culture, inspiring us toward a deeper understanding of the Person of Christ.

Christian World and Life View

Pillar copyScripture teaches us to be “salt and light” in a fallen world. In our reformed heritage this is often referred to as The Cultural Mandate. We believe that we are to transform all aspects of our world and culture, with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our desire is to equip Christians so that they may integrate their faith into all areas of their daily lives. We believe God has called us to be instruments of His grace, transforming all spheres of our culture with His love and truth. We offer the following courses and opportunities for service:

John 13:35


  

 

Reformed Theology

Pillar copyThe Bible teaches that God graciously and lovingly seeks out the lost, so that we will know Him, love Him, and serve Him. As Presbyterians we hold to distinctives commonly called Reformed Theology, an historic and thorough understanding of God’s amazing grace. We come to know Christ through the study of His Word.
